What We Do

We create opportunities for community to develop their leadership skills and impact the issues that matter most in their lives. Our training enhances the effectiveness of relationship building, public speaking, facilitating productive meetings, negotiating with decision makers, and building collective power. Participating in neighborhood activities, such as voter registration and winning city services or police relations, builds skills and enhances the effectiveness of the training. Our leaders are identified as those community members who have the drive to take on a leadership role and connect to the mission of the organization. We understand that leadership comes in many forms and our goal is to identify the individual aspirations of our community members and cultivate them to their fullest potential. We build leadership capacity through one-on-one interaction and connect those relationships to the collective power of the organization. We recognize the strength of our allies and often work in coalition with other organizations across the state members.
